How does this work in practice? I understand that if you specify
`foreground` and `background` that those could be overridden by the program
(e.g. `ls -l --colors=auto`, which would list a directory with some
color-coding outside of the specified foreground color), but, if, as in your
example below, you change `color9` to a purple shade, presumably any
application that goes to use `color9` to print red would, instead, print in
purple?
